The truth isn't the only thing that's dead and buried... Following recent changes to Dewstow's local police force, The Dinner Lady Detectives, Margery and Clementine Butcher-Baker, have been warned off interfering in investigations. When a body is found under the school playground during building renovations, they have absolutely no intention of getting involved. The pair are in need of money to pay for their new website though, and begrudgingly agree to help Mrs Redburn, who suspects her husband of having an affair. It's a simple case that couldn't possibly be a police matter. But when their investigation sends them stumbling into the middle of the playground mystery, it becomes impossible for them to stay out of the police's way. Can they get to the bottom of whose body is under the playground and uncover the truth about Mr Redburn, or will they end up digging their own graves? A charming British cosy village mystery. Perfect for fans of J.M. Hall and Fiona Leitch. Praise for Hannah Hendy and The Dinner Lady Detecitves: 'Hannah is at the top of the tree of modern whodunnits. The characters, bar none, are real; the settings are glorious and the plots are devilishly clever' Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants 'Who knew being a dinner lady could be so dangerous - but so much fun?! With a plot that's twistier than school dinner spag bol, Clem and Margery are the only school dinner ladies guaranteed to give you belly laughs rather than indigestion' Fiona Leitch, author of The Cornish Village Murder 'Hendy is, by far, one of the very best cosy writers we have - and A Frightfully Fatal Affair sees her on sparkling form' Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives 'Twisty, delightful, and laugh-out-loud funny. I fell in love with Margery and Clementine from the first page' Antony Johnston, author of The Dog Sitter Detective on The Dinner Lady Detectives 'I really enjoyed this - a terrific zesty look at the dark underside of a modern-day secondary school' J.M. Hall, author of A Spoonful of Murder
